Columbus Democrat

ILLINOIS.

The Democratic State Convention of Illinois have nominated Joel A. Mattison for Governor, G. P. Korner for Lieut. Governor, A. Starne for Secretary of State, T. H. Campbell for Auditor and Jno Moore for Treasurer. The ticket is said to be a strong one, and will succeed most triumphantly. They passed resolutions unanimously recommending Stephen A. Douglas as a candidate for the Presidency, endorsing the compromise measure, approving the Baltimore platform and the State administration.

The Springfield Register says:

The utmost harmony and good feeling attended the deliberations and decisions of the Convention, and the delegates parted with a full conviction that the democracy of Illinois are now one and inseparable, and invincible.

The country will rejoice at the stand taken by the Convention. It received a full, unqualified and cordial indorsement. Let no man hereafter say that the democracy of Illinois are unsound on this question. Abolitionism, and heresies, have received the stamp of reprobation, and henceforth they will be confined to the factions that gave them birth. As a party, we stand upon the Baltimore platform, and have repudiated forever, the narrow and illiberal views which demagogues sought to foist upon our creed. Henceforth our standard will float in the breeze, pure and unsullied, proclaiming a devoted attachment to the Union, and an abiding hostility to everything calculated to disturb its integrity. Upon this action of the convention, we congratulate the democracy of the State. It was due to ourselves, and to our brethren in other quarters of the Union, and we may now point to the record which removes all doubt, if any such existed, of the position of the Illinois democracy upon this question.
